The Violin Sonatas

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Arthur Grumiaux & Clara Haskil

The Violin Sonatas are a set of violin sonatas by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed between 1797 and 1812. Spanning late-18th-century Classical forms to early-Romantic textures, they blend classical sonata structure with increased instrumental virtuosity and expressive range, forming a major component of Beethoven's chamber-music output and influencing the repertoire for violin and piano duet.
First released: 1988
